If you understand the old testament, which Christ fulfilled, you would realize that Jesus may have shed his blood on Calvary, but until that blood was taken into the holiest of all in the heavenlies and offered upon the mercy seat, and accepted by God, there was no pardon.
But lets not mistake pardon for sins as new birth, as new birth does not occur without the quickening of the Spirit which occurred at the "resurrection".
